~CHA Sneak Peek!!~

Good morning my crafty friends! :)

I have a brand new CHA sneak peek from Clear Scraps today!

I created this layout (and you might just spy it in the Clear Scraps booth this year)

With the Tally Scrapper July kit (which I designed) and the brand new

line from Clear Scraps, which is call Clearly Accent Embellishments~~

The kit is a wonderfully fun kit on Tally Scrapper called

"Sassy Vintage Dreams" and the dress forms are right here on Clear Scraps

The only thing I added myself was the title, and the blue lace ribbon.

I embossed the Clear Scraps Dress Forms, and them inked them,

after that dried I used Stickles on them in the embossed areas.

I love sewing and these acrylic embellishments fit perfectly!

You have to check these goodies out!

I will try to post more sneak peeks this week. :)

Happy Hump day!!

~Scrapping With Love Sunday~

Good morning and happy Sunday to my friends all over the place!

It was so nice to be able to sit down and play with paper

yesterday while hubby took the boys out for a while.

I had a wonderful weekend with friends and today I am headed out to

Mt. Juliet to teach the Imaginisce/Clear Scraps Class!

I played with the February Kit from Tally yesterday and managed

to come up with this unique layout ✄✄

I made the "polaroids" with Hambly paper and it's shimmery in person!

I also used a heck of alot of Glue Arts UCUT on this page!

And alot of fun vintage pieces I had in my stash. I have been waiting to use

this hanger for over a year now! You know that Target commercial with

Taylor Swift walking through a field with polaroids hanging off strings?

It completely inspired me and I wanted to have that feel on my page.

Ok ok it didn't work 100% LOL but you get the idea.

Most everything else was from the Feb. Kit. I had alot of fun making it.

If you have not come to Tally to play, it is alot of fun! Come play with me!

~Ok I am off to finish packing for class...have a beautiful Sunday~

Thank YOU for coming by to say hello~

TOMORROW the Cricut Cartrideg WINNER will be announced!

~Happy Scrappy Thursday!~

Good morning!!!!!

It feels like the last few days have been a blur but a good one ♥

I have to laugh about this layout because I had intended it to be

an 8.5X11 layout but somehow I cut it wrong so

it became a 12x12 layout LOL

I used that amazing Scraptastic Club Kit that Jessica sent me

and I am still in love with it! I can't help it!

I think it is the colors and the soft snowy feel.

Jessica always encouraged me to scrap my own way, I love

that kind of attitude because I am all about scrapping real life.

My Christmas was amazing this year but I also reflect on

my past as the New Year comes and mistakes in judgement I make.

This year my resolve is to be more aware of people who use

me and try to have more meaningful female relationships.

Treat them like I would a "love" relationship.

Expect the same respect anyways. So I hope LOL

Journaling: I definitely live with no regrets but that doesn't

mean I don't make mistakes. When I have a friendship

I give it everything I have and sometimes that is a big mistake.

I definitely have a great eye for finding "friends" who use

me to get ahead while I sit there thinking I need to give a little more.

I just have to grow and learn and trust my husband who

warns me every single time!

Now no one tell my husband I said that OK??? LOL

It's all just a part of life and this year my hopes are for
a more peaceful personal life. Not allow as many people in
but allow the ones of quality in ♥

I want to THANK Jessica from Scraptastic Club once again
for sending me this kit....I am so grateful!
You will see one of her kits at CHA this year! :) In the Clear Scraps
booth on a tri-fold frame. I will share later this week!

Ok I am off to get things done...
♥Happy Thursday everyone♥
Thanks for stopping by!

~It's the 1st again! Time for prizes and sketch challenge!~

Good morning!!!!!!!!!!

It is the first, I am so happy November has arrived.

For me it means that family time, baking, nights with friends,

warm parties, and cookies for all the neighbors...well that time has arrived.

I drove my son to school this morning and we chatted about

our annual Christmas party and how we will celebrate Thanksgiving

while we watched the orange and red leaves blow across the road.

*Perfectly lovely*

We had a very rough Halloween (which is why I did not blog)

My youngest son was VERY sick and I was home all night with

him on his little nebulizer machine. BUT when I thought it was

just going to feel down, my friend unexpectedly showed up

bringing with her a DOOR, and a bag of candy so my youngest could

reverse Trick Or Treat,

it was so sweet and made him so happy. *YEA*

♥ We are very blessed in the Hobbs house ♥

Ok on to the crafty goodness that awaits.

As you know Imaginisce has a sketch challenge EVERY MONTH!

WOOHOO~

This is the sketch by Melinda Spinks

And here is my take on it, using the new line from Imaginisce

Enchanted *oh la la*

Do you see these cool clear pearls?

Want to know how I attached them?

I use the Ribbon Adhesive from Glue Arts and let me tell

you it was AWESOME!!!!!! No more hot glue for me on pages

and no more clumpy messes! I just stuck it down and it was straight

and perfect...thank YOU Glue Arts for my new pearl adhesive!

I really just wanted to keep it all about the photos, simple

and sweet with enough pink to make it fun!

I am not a big sketch chickita banana, but I had fun and it

gave me something to do besides sit with the sick little man :)

~Hello Friday, I have missed you....*more reveals*~

Good morning, happy Friday!
Can you believe how fast June flew by?

I have another reveal today from the COURAGE kit
at Scrapbooking From The Inside Out.
Oh I have loved the Courage Emotion this month!
It totally pushed me to think ad appreciate life
and the people I have around me, I am very blessed.

This is all about what people say to me,
and how I process it in my head.
It's funny, they say I have courage but I don't feel that way.

I just see life....it ain't pretty it's just reality.

I guess I don't have much to say about it,
it's just a page through my eyes.
I know it won't be int he next Creating Keepsakes LOL
or Scrapbooks Etc...but it will proudly lay in my album
and my boys will read it when I am gone
and hopefully they will say...I remember her and
she loved me, no matter how life was, she loved me.

Happy Friday y'all.
I hope you have courage today I know you
have it inside you~
